Hit a plateau?
Hi all, I have hit a plateau after losing 20 lbs and have been trying to up/down calories and exercise but so far not much result. I will appreciate a suggestion on a weightloss supplement that will get me back on track (nothing crazy, not a weightloss pill, more like a metabolism booster). SW: 198 CW: 178 GW: 150 Thank…

100 Calorie Vegetarian Borsch
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recipe of a quick Russian borsch soup that only has 100 calories in a serving (and I'm talking about a 2-2.5 cup serving!) Of course, for those of you (like me) who know, how to cook real borsch, this recipe sounds sub par, but I'm telling you, the soup will fill you up, it is very quick…

Hello from Monterey, CA
Hey there, I'm Olga and I'm 27. My boyfriend made me sign up for MFP because it's easier to lose weight together and I finally agreed that maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the long run is better for me than crash diets. I am 5'9 and 4 years ago I weighed 183lbs. I never stuck to any diet before and decided to try Atkins.…
